Chapter 224: Secret Confrontation
Talking about jokes, the two laughed together, and finally gradually quieted down, as usual, quietly watching the river in a daze.
At this moment, a vigilance gradually grew in Li Su's mind.
The joke just now, if you taste it carefully, may not be exactly a joke.
What kind of emperor is Li Shimin? He was the only king in Chinese history who made a foreign country willing to call him the "Heavenly Khan".
Li Su and Li Shimin have known each other for more than half a year, and in the past half a year, Li Shimin has shown incomparable generosity and kindness in front of Li Su, and Li Su can even clearly feel that Li Shimin has a faint love for him like a parent and nephew.
However, is Li Shimin really that kind of generous and kind elder?
A generous and kind person, it is impossible to create such an unprecedented prosperous atmosphere, a person who is called the heavenly khan by Fanbang, must have the capital that makes Fanbang awe-inspired, and his title is not to welcome the beard, but to really rely on the decisive and ruthless character, and the elite of the Tang army under his command who is invincible and the world.
Dongyang is his daughter, although this daughter has been estranged from him since she was a child, but the daughter understands her father after all, the so-called generosity and kindness are just an illusion that he shows in front of the world, including Li Su, as Dongyang said, if Li Shimin falls into the water with others, Li Shimin will not hesitate to kill the person who drowned with him first, and the person who rescued him on the shore will have only one choice......
The heavenly family is thin and the emperor is ruthless, Li Su suddenly had a sense of vigilance, and secretly reminded himself that he must be careful in front of Li Shimin in the future, he can be a wolf in sheep's clothing, but he can't be a sheep and will die.
A gentle Rou Wattle nudged him. woke up Li Su who was in deep thought.
"Wang Zhizai just now, I can't ask, why did you suddenly change your mind to save Zheng Xiaolou?" Dongyang asked, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Dongyang said softly: "You always say that you only want to be ordinary and mediocre until you are old, and you can hide when you can hide in trouble." You seem to be a little different today......"
Li Su sighed: "Zheng Xiaolou can be angry for a woman he doesn't know, he is an iron-clad man, and I, as his master, should do something for him, I can't guarantee that I will rescue him, but I will do my best, try my best until things have no turnaround." At the point of despair, I will let go again, worthy of him and worthy of myself......"
"Before? You weren't like this before......"
"People will always change, depending on the situation, when you were still living in Taiji Palace and were not given a fief by His Majesty, my father and I were just farmers struggling for food and clothing. That winter, I woke up in a sleep. found that the rice jar was empty, and there was not a single grain of grain at home, ......" Li Su showed bitterness at the corner of his mouth, and sighed: "It was really a desperate period of poverty, that night, my father and I were hungry, and my father went to bed very early." And I, in order to carry my hunger, poured a stomach of cold water, sat under the fire in the yard and built a toilet overnight......"
Dongyang's eyes were red, even though it was just a dusty past. But she was still deeply distressed by the man in front of her.
Li Su said with a smile: "Early the next morning, I carried the toilet on my back and went to the richest landlord's house in the village, your current fiefdom used to be theirs, I was hungry all night, and my legs were weak when I went to his house in the morning...... When I came home with a bag of grain, my father also went home, and in the middle of winter, he jumped into the icy water shirtless, helped the landlord's family dig a ditch, and came back so cold that his mouth turned purple, so that he could exchange for such a pitiful few clerks' wages......"
After saying the heavy words, Li Su found that his shoulders were wet, and when he turned his head, Dongyang lay on his shoulders, crying so much that pear blossoms brought rain.
"I hate to meet you early in this life, you and your father won't suffer so much at the beginning, Li Su, you will be fine in the future, let go of what you want to do, even if you have nothing in the future, you still have me ......"
Li Su wiped away her tears and sighed with a smile: "Actually, it's incredible for me to meet you in this life." ”
“…… In fact, everyone's life is not easy, Zheng Xiaolou is like this, the poor maid of the Feng family is like this, and so is the former me. Now the times have changed, my family's life is rich, it does not mean that I will forget the days of poverty, I am a farmer's child, no matter what height I go in this life, my background can not change, therefore, I am just a lowly member, their suffering, I understand, because I understand, so I want to help this, the poor are good alone, and the good is to help the world, I am not helping Zheng Xiaolou, but this matter. ”
************************************************************
Zheng Xiaolou was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department.
The matter of saving people cannot be rushed, it depends on the fire, and it also needs to be brewed.
After Wang Zhi returned to Chang'an East City, he began to get busy, and every sentence of Li Su's explanation became his unanimous creed.
A county prince of the last rank, a gangster leader in Chang'an City, plus a group of idlers who have nothing to do, an insignificant force, but they are doing a big thing trying to pry up the court punishment department.
The deployment was in full swing, but after all, it lost for a while.
Three days later, a shocking incident occurred in Beilongzhuang, Jingyang County.
The head of the Feng family hanged himself in the middle of the night, and left a suicide note before he died, which was clearly written on the suicide note, the way of heaven is unfair, the son died of death, the princess was mourned, the county bullied, and the government did not do it.
Jingyang Zhou County Commander was anxious and white-faced, the people in Guanzhong Road have always been simple, and there were few murders, and he had a series of murders in Jingyang within a few days, and what made him even more frightened was that the death of the head of the Feng family pushed this case to the forefront of public opinion.
Zhou Xianling was in a hurry, he knew very well that there were many unknown insiders hidden behind this case, the intervention of the criminal department, a big man looming behind the scenes, and the self-hanging of the head of the Feng family, which pushed the case into an unfathomable abyss step by step.
Public opinion has been indignant, in the eyes of people who do not know the truth. The Feng family is the victim, the son died tragically, Lao Tzu hanged himself, the family was wiped out, but the murderer was still squatting in the prison. I don't know what year and month I will be under the law, this is the most unfair place.
The people couldn't sit still, and the elders of Sude in Beilongzhuang couldn't sit still, and when the Feng family was crying, the elders gathered hundreds of people to come to the Jingyang County Yamen, and a group of people blocked the Yamen and shouted angrily, begging Zhou County to preside over justice.
Zhou Xianling was frightened, even if he was a little partial to Li Su, he couldn't take care of Li Su at this time. Originally, the Feng family's head hanged himself and the suicide note he left behind and sent someone to report to the Chang'an City Criminal Department.
An ordinary murder case finally blew up in Chang'an City.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is undoubtedly an outrageous thing, the innocent Feng family is out of the house because of this, but the murderer is living in prison, as the suicide note of the head of the Feng family said, this is an injustice of heaven.
However, in the eyes of a few insiders, this matter is quite interesting.
Zheng Xiaolou has been imprisoned in the Criminal Department. If nothing else, he will soon be sentenced to imprisonment. Just wait for the decision next autumn, Zheng Xiaolou's head will fall to the ground, that is to say, the Feng family's revenge for the loss of a child will be avenged soon, and the head of the Feng family only needs to sit quietly at home and wait.
At this time, the head of the Feng family hanged himself inexplicably. also left a suicide note to say that "heaven is unfair", obviously the criminal department is already upholding justice for him, and the result will be seen soon, how can heaven be unfair? It is extremely contradictory, and the death of the Feng family master is also quite strange. Without any warning, he hanged himself for no reason, if he is really strong, and would rather burn jade in order to avenge the loss of his son, why was Li Su willing to compromise and sign the letter of withdrawal when he came to the door?
…………
Taiping Village.
Wang Zhi was so angry that he shouted: "Conspiracy! It's a conspiracy! The old man of the Feng family must have been killed! ”
Li Su ignored him, hung his head, pinched a branch in his hand and didn't know what to draw, looking very attentive.
Wang Zhi didn't get a response, and glared at him dissatisfied: "Why aren't you in a hurry?" Old man Feng was killed by someone, and he left a suicide note from Na Laoshizi, which was clearly aimed at you, and someone wanted to harm you! ”
"I know ......" Li Su said lazily: "Woe to the east, as soon as the old man of the Feng family died, there was a lot of discussion among the people, and the Criminal Department went down the river to investigate the case thoroughly, and found that my county had been on the door of the Feng family, so naturally I couldn't get out of it, maybe I would be regarded as the murderer who forced the old man Feng to death, and then play the role of His Majesty, even if His Majesty protected me, I am afraid that I will have to endure the pain of my crime, and the removal of the official is light, and I may be exiled ......for thousands of miles."
Wang Zhi was stunned for a moment and said, "You know everything? Why don't you know what's the hurry? I'm dying! ”
"It's actually good to be exiled for thousands of miles, I'm tired of seeing the scenery in Guanzhong, and it's time to go to other places, you see, the world of the Tang Dynasty is so big, and the scenery is so beautiful......" Li Su said, and actually counted the scenery around the place with his fingers very seriously: "...... The girls from the north, the girls from the south of the Yangtze River, the girls from Longyou, the girls from the Lingnan, and ...... All kinds of girls, tsk! ”
Wang Zhi: "............"
"Okay, okay, is it useful to be in a hurry?" Li Su glanced at him, still lazy, but a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "It's so fast, Zheng Xiaolou is just a pretense, but the person I really want to deal with is me, I'm still thinking about what excuse he used to climb from Zheng Xiaolou to me, the trick he used was vicious enough." ”
Wang Zhizheng said: "Li Su, the opponent is too powerful, we haven't moved yet, the fire has already burned on you, the consequences are very strict, Zheng Xiaolou can't be saved, take another step forward, you will cause big trouble...... In fact, you're in big trouble right now. ”
"No, how to do it, how to do it, this thing can't be ......stopped" Li Su's tone was flat but resolute: "Do what I told you a few days ago, you can't miss a single step, now it's not about saving people, but about me and the person behind the scenes, he has already made a move, if I don't say anything more, I'm afraid I will really get into it this time, and saving Zheng Xiaolou is equivalent to saving me." ”
Wang Zhi nodded as if he understood.
Li Su smiled: "Don't be so unproductive, although it makes people take the first step, but we haven't lost yet, as long as this puddle of water is muddy, Zheng Xiaolou and I will be fine." ”
Wang Zhi hurriedly returned to Chang'an East City.
Li Su sat alone under the locust tree, the bleak autumn wind blew by, and the last yellow leaf on the branch was finally reluctantly blown into the air by the autumn wind, and disappeared into the sky after swaying and fluttering unwillingly.
Li Su took out the mirror in his arms and began to admire his appearance, and the more he looked at it, the more he became stupid. The more I watched, the more I liked it......
"Oh, Meidi is very ......" Li Su smiled wickedly in the mirror, and then said happily as if he had discovered a new continent: "Ah! It's more charming to laugh, I'm afraid Pan An's Song Yu's appearance is just like this, right? ”
After admiring it for a long time, Li Su reluctantly stuffed the mirror back into his arms and looked up at the sky. muttered to himself: "A handsome and white peerless beautiful man like me, how could those people bear to harm me?" It's a mad world......"
************************************************************
After the death of the head of the Feng family, the actions of the criminal department were very fast, and after getting the suicide note of the head of the Feng family, the officials of the criminal department first invited the Jingyang Zhou County Order into the lobby of the criminal department.
This invitation is not a debriefing, but an inquiry.
The so-called "interrogation" is actually similar in essence to an interrogation, and the explanation is just a little more polite.
Because there is a sentence in the suicide note, "The government does not do it", as the Zhou County Order for the judgment of the murder case. He was the first official to be questioned.
Zhou Xian Ling stayed in the lobby of the Criminal Department for two days and one night before he was allowed to go back, and then Li Su, the son of Jingyang County and the supervisor of the Firearms Bureau, was invited into the lobby of the Criminal Department by the officers of the Criminal Department, and he was also interrogated.
…………
Chang'an City, which is calm on the surface, is secretly treacherous.
Chengdong City, Chang'an.
In the early morning, the fang officials opened the door of the fang, and the martial marquis lined up to patrol the shuttle. Many people popped up in the entire East Market in a moment, starting a new day of busy running.
What happened in the Criminal Department had no effect on Dongshi. The shopkeepers still stand in front of the door every day and enthusiastically solicit customers, and the merchants from all over the country still lead camels and horses through the streets and alleys of the East Market, and the hawkers and merchants push carts and sell their goods hoarsely......
When the sun was three poles, Wu Bajin stretched his waist. After a long yawn, he walked slowly towards an open-air liquor shop outside the alley.
Wu Bajin is a name that is easy to remember and understand, as the name suggests, his mother is very competitive. not only gave birth to a son, but also a big fat son, weighing eight catties, which is a great honor, so he simply named him eight catties, and used his son's life to show off his heroic mother.
It's a pity that the son is really not very angry, so far, Wu Bajin is just an idle gangster in the East City, he has not learned other skills since he was a child, stealing chickens and touching dogs has a set, with the gradual improvement of business ability, Wu Bajin is gradually not satisfied with stealing chickens and dogs, so one day the dog is bold, went to the landlord's house in the countryside to steal a cow, and the artist is bold, and the cow swaggered into the mule and horse market in Chang'an East City, and sold it for three dollars......
This is probably the most promising thing he has ever done in his life, the owner later reported to the official, and the government quickly found Wu Bajin, without saying a word, he was put in prison, and he squatted for a full year before he came out.
After coming out, I had no choice but to continue to mingle in the East City, living a poor life of struggling to eat and wear, and three meals were difficult to sustain, until a few months ago, Chang'an East City inexplicably appeared a rich man with a lot of money, a stupid person with a lot of money to slaughter my face, Wu Bajin naturally would not be polite to this kind of person, and he leaned over with a flattering face.
The rich man is very righteous, like Wu Bajin, an idler has raised hundreds, and he doesn't have to do anything every day, as long as everyone gets together to gossip and chew the root of the tongue, which minister has recently raised a new concubine, which minister has been scratched by his mother-in-law and aunt at home, which daughter of a large family has eyebrows with a scholar of a certain country, secretly knotted beads, etc., all kinds of privacy have been turned out, and they have escaped from a paparazzi base camp.
On weekdays, everyone is a topic of fun and fun, but the rich man listens very carefully, and when he arrives at the meal, he waves his hand, and a group of people shout five to drink and kill to the noodle stall, and the spicy soup is full, and when the rich man is in a good mood, he may invite everyone into the wine shop, and each person will enjoy two bowls of bad wine that is as muddy as muddy water, and a group of people will disperse after drinking red ears and red ears.
So Wu Bajin's recent days are very nourishing, he doesn't have to do anything every day, he just needs to have something to do to listen around about his privacy, go back and tell the rich man as a joke, the more he says, the more secret, the richer the happier he is, and when he is happy, he will scatter money and welfare, Wu Bajin is happy, he feels that his life has gradually seen the light, and he gradually found that the idle man is actually a very promising profession, provided that he can hear all kinds of large and small privacy anecdotes at any time.
For idle people, it is not too easy to inquire about privacy, and the people who come out to buy from large families must enter the East Market, and when they enter the East Market, they will inevitably intersect with these idle people......
Wu Bajin is a very self-motivated person, and after a few months of fighting with the rich man, gradually, he became the rich man's confidant.
Today, Wu Bajin sat in the humble open-air wine shop outside the alley as usual, and after greeting a group of equally poor bitter men, Wu Bajin called a bowl of turbid wine, sat around the table with everyone, and the bamboo chopsticks picked up a wilted lotus vegetable stalk on the table and sent it into his mouth, chewed it slowly a few times, and told the drinkers about the rumors that had been brewing for a long time in a casual tone.
"Hey, you know what? There is a family surnamed Feng in Beilongzhuang, Jingyang County, and all the sons of Lao Tzu are dead...... Hang oneself? Bah! With your dog brain, you will believe what others say, how can it be self-hanging? ”
Wu Bajin looked around for a while, deliberately lowered his voice, and said: "I have a decent handyman brother in the Criminal Department, I have heard of it, this matter is not simple, the son of the Feng family was indeed killed, but the old man of the Feng family was killed by someone, this matter is ,...... It has something to do with the East Palace. ”
